Description

Purpose: To consider effective dissemination strategies for the family peer-education program on mental disorders, we aimed to clarify the factors related to intention to continue for family groups that had already implemented the program. Method: A cross-sectional mail survey was sent to 59 family groups that had implemented the program from its development in 2007 through to 2012. The conceptual framework of the diffusion and dissemination of innovation in a health-care organization was used as the analysis framework. We analyzed the relationships between the dependent variable, which was groups with or without intention of regular implementation, and independent variables regarding system antecedents, system readiness, and consequences. Results: Fifty-six family groups responded. A multivariate logistic regression showed that intention to continue was related to whether the family group was motivated with the program as a new goal (OR=7.11, p=0.005) and had adequate finances (OR=1.98, p=0.035). Discussion: Following the loss of the goal of running community workshops, family groups need family mutual help and mutual learning as new goals. These new goals are consistent with the family peereducation program. The investigation showed that finances were related to the intention to continue with program. Therefore, strategies to secure financial resources, including useful tools to apply for local governmental grants and others, are needed.
